Child protection organisations in Greece demand the immediate operation of the “Houses of the Child”  for minors - victims of sexual violence

On 18 February 2021, Terre des hommes (Tdh) together with its partners, Organization for Aid to Refugees (Czech Republic), Ocalenie Foundation (Poland), and Slovene Philantropy organised the final conference of the “MINT – Mentoring for Integration of third country national children affected by migration” project to present the mentoring methodology developed in the project and discuss the opportunities to use it in other EU country contexts. 

With 13,000 registered members and 30,000 resources available to the public, the Child Protection Hub – childhub.org celebrates six years online this month. To mark the occasion, we’ve given the site a fresh look and new features that highlight functionality.

Terre des hommes promotes child-friendly justice in Europe and supports states to improve their policies and practices and ensure effective access to justice for all children. The organisation engages with children to understand their perspective and empowers them to become agents of change who advocate for child-centred justice.

On 3 February 2021, Terre des hommes together with its partners, Fundación Secretariado Gitano (Spain) and AFEJI (France), organised an advocacy conference at European level to discuss the necessary measures that could facilitate the inclusion and improve schooling of Roma children in the European Union.

As an international and Greek organisation with a long-term active involvement in the field of minors’ protection in sports and recreational settings, and following the recent testimonials of the Greek athletes reporting having suffered sexual harassment and abuse, Terre des hommes Hellas expresses its support to the women who found the courage to break their silence, and encourages other people who may have suffered similar violence to report the incidents and demand that the authorities investigate them accordingly.

Terre des hommes (Tdh) is looking for an agency/ company or a consultant/ team of consultants to create subtitles in Albanian, Greek and Romanian for four videos originally produced in English.

Since the first day after the 26 November 2019 earthquake in Albania, Tdh was on the ground distributing hundreds of blankets and hygiene products and providing first-aid psychosocial support to the affected children and families to help them overcome the shock, anxiety, and trauma.

As winter closes in, thousands of refugees in Greece still face homelessness and destitution. While winter always poses a challenge, this year is likely to become one of the most challenging yet due to the ongoing pandemic, a deliberate decrease in the length of support for refugees, and the lack of a comprehensive integration strategy and strategy against homelessness from authorities. 

The results and findings of the “Life Under Coronavirus” survey will be disclosed during a virtual eventon December 9, 2020, 14:00 CET in the presence of our partners, stakeholders, decision makers, as well as children and young people.
